Jonas Böer
Data Engineer at inovex since 2022, full-time software engineer since 2018, coder for as long as I can remember. With my experience working on data warehouses and machine learning applications from small tests up to international deployments, I enjoy eliminating bugs and bottlenecks, getting cool systems online and writing beautiful code. Still proud of the time when a colleague complained that I made deploying to production too predictable and therefore boring.
Session
We don't need to use Python only for developing applications and pipelines, we can also use it to maintain our infrastructure. Pulumi allows us to describe our infrastructure as a Python program. As this gives us access to Python's flexibility, readability, power, and joy, it has quickly become my favourite way to manage infrastructure, no matter if for a small team's ML application or for a multinational company's analytics platform. Let me share this joy with you!
In this talk I will show you how Pulumi works and what it does better than other IaC tools: Among others, I will talk about custom resources and resource grouping, state versioning and understanding your infrastructure deployment as a program to be run.
Caution: This talk may lead to strong feelings of "why haven't we always done it like this?"
